Chapter 9: Not a man

"Damn the Night Stalker's mount from some Ice Palace wizard," the strange turtle scolded, patting his head, "Uncle, I don't think it looks familiar." ”

"Ice Palace, what are you doing?" Meng Yun asked suspiciously when he heard this, this name sounded like a Jianghu force.

"Let me tell you this, more than seventy percent of the wizards of the Northern Xuan Kingdom are from the Ice Palace, understand?" the strange turtle began to pace with his head bowed after speaking.

"Is this Ice Palace an official wizarding organization?" This information really surprised him, but in a blink of an eye he figured it out, this is a mythical era, without the military support of wizard forces, who can sit firmly in a dominant position?

Thinking of this, Meng Yun had another question in his heart, "No, since they are official personnel, how could the Wizard Qi provoke them?"

"As far as I know, Old Man Qi has nothing to do with the Ice Palace," the strange turtle waved his hand in denial.

"That's weird, it's not for the Wizard Qi, is it for you?" It is said that the Wizard of Qi has a life-saving grace for him, and he suspects that the life-saving benefactor is not very kind for no reason, but he is completely matter-of-fact now, so naturally he does not have too many scruples.

In other words, even if the wizard did make mistakes, it had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't do anything about harming his life-saving benefactor.

"Ouch, why didn't you say it was coming at you?" the strange turtle said angrily, and looked at him with some suspicion after speaking, "Uncle, where did you come from?"

"Uncle provoked you, open your mouth and shut up and scold Uncle, I think you will be called Uncle Turtle," Meng Yun rolled his eyes and said.

"Except for the looks, the clothes he wears, and the things he says," the strange turtle muttered to himself, looking at him.

Meng Yun didn't want to talk about this topic, so he spread his hands helplessly and said, "I will let you know what you should know, let me ask you what to do now?"

"Uncle, you're really boring," said the strange turtle, yawning boredly, pointing to the growing sky in the east, "It's almost dawn, find a place to sleep." ”

"It's not all here, the enemy may not have gone far," Meng Yun said with some worry in his heart.

He hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, and it was indeed tempting to get a good night's sleep, but the thought that the enemy would appear at any time simply dispelled this unrealistic idea.

"Yo he, I obviously have an idea and ask Uncle Ben, I'm quite good at being a man," the strange turtle said with a bit of yin and yang, "Don't worry, it's impossible for the night owls to catch up with the flying eagle, as long as they can't catch up with Old Man Qi, you're safe-"

After the strange turtle finished speaking, he found a comfortable grass nest and lay down.

Meng Yun frowned and looked at the strange turtle, this old Wang Ba obviously had something to say, but he couldn't say anything, this old Wang Ba had a great friendship with the Qi Wizard, but he was a person of unknown origin, it was inevitable that the strange turtle would have a bias in thinking about the problem, thinking of this, Meng Yun asked again, "Before leaving, how did the Qi Wizard explain to you?"

"He said that he would let us see the opportunity, and if nothing else, he would come back to us in a few days," the strange turtle yawned after speaking, and his words were a little sluggish and tired.

"Between these vast mountains, how can the Wizard of Qi find us?" Meng Yun asked with some suspicion.

There could be no satellite positioning in this world, Meng Yun suspected that the strange turtle was perfunctory to him, and immediately followed, he was responded to by a loud snoring.

It was about four o'clock in the morning, and there were still about two hours before dawn, Meng Yun sat down against the tree, looked up at the confused night sky from the gap in the canopy, closed his eyes and carefully recalled what happened tonight......

I haven't slept well in the past few days, and Meng Yun is already sleepy at this moment, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

Not long after he fell asleep, the strange turtle quietly got up, and after confirming that he was asleep, he immediately turned his head and went down the mountain......

At seven o'clock in the morning, Meng Yun heard a slight movement beside him, and the strange turtle that slipped down the mountain before came back, but this guy didn't wake him up after he came back, but wandered and paced beside him, and from time to time there was a slight sigh, I don't know if there was something worrying, or I was torn up about something.

Half a minute later, Meng Yun deliberately acted as if he had just woken up, yawned and stretched, "If you wake up and don't go to find something to eat, what are you hanging around here?"

"Uncle didn't sleep at all," when he heard his voice, Master Turtle turned his head and walked over to him, "An hour ago, I went down the mountain to find out some bad news. ”

"Oh, what's going on?" Meng Yun was stunned for a moment in his heart, this old Wang Ba didn't hide the matter of going down the mountain, it was really a bit unexpected for him.

"Three days ago, the Ice Palace sent a lot of wizards into this mountain forest, as if they were looking for something," the turtle master said with some uncertainty.

"What are you looking for? Where did you get all this news from?" Meng Yun couldn't help but say with some suspicion, this guy didn't know where he went last night.

"I don't know what you're looking for, could these people just want to kill us?"

Meng Yun didn't rush to refute when he heard this, if this thing is really like what it said, it is indeed logical, at least there are not too many loopholes and flaws, this kind of action is a bit like the criminal's crime is exposed, and then he wants to kill people and kill people.

Think about it another way, this thing is so important that it has reached the point of not hesitating to kill people, in short, the other party will most likely not leave this place easily until he finds this thing, so the two of them are in danger now, and they are always facing the danger of being wiped out.

Thinking of this, Meng Yun's face instantly became serious, "This place can't stay any longer!"

At this moment, Master Turtle stopped pacing, looked up at him and said, "Are you worried that those people will come over?"

"These Ice Palace wizards have spell abilities, if they are discovered, do you think we have the ability to resist? You think even worse, if Wizard Qi comes back to save us, even he will be in danger, and then we will not even have the last straw to save our lives," Meng Yun actually has selfish intentions in this, if he puts Wizard Qi in such a dangerous situation, the clue to return home will be broken.

"Let me think about it," Master Turtle was still a little hesitant.

Because in its previous opinion, the smartest choice was to hide here and wait patiently for the rescue of the Wizard Qi, but now after his analysis, the Wizard Qi himself is difficult to protect, how can he take care of them, "It's too anxious, why don't you wait until the evening to leave?"

"Night, is there a difference between day and night for wizards?" Meng Yun suddenly thought of a fatal question, these wizards with supernatural powers, the ghost knows if they can see at night, if the answer is yes, there is no difference between day and night.

"Most wizards can see at night, and the higher their cultivation, the farther they can see, why do you ask?" the strange turtle asked with some puzzlement.

"This is not good news, I don't have night vision equipment now, I can't control the surrounding environment in advance when I walk at night, the most terrible thing is that I see the dense jungle trees nearby, there are a lot of birds, walking in the forest at night is easy to disturb the birds that perch, 'birds come out in the middle of the night, there will be a startled person' Have you heard of it?" This sentence is not what he said, but the famous Han general Nian Qianyao of the Qing Dynasty, when he pacified the Qinghai-Tibet region.

"I haven't heard of it, but you have a point, there are a lot of cuckoos in these woods, and this kind of bird is very alert and clever, and it will be frightened if there is a slight noise under the tree, and it is really not wise to walk at night," the strange turtle nodded in agreement, it has lived too long and is well-informed, and it does not need to be explained too much.

"But if we find a river, it may not be a good choice to walk along the river at night," Meng Yun said after thinking about it.

Animals have an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and the river passes through low-lying valleys, where the water vapor is heavy, and birds in the mountains and forests may come to drink during the day, but do not spend the night by the wet and cold river.

"Where is there any river nearby, how did you come up with these?" said the turtle master with some doubts.

"It doesn't matter how you think of this, the top priority is to determine which direction it is safer to take, do you have any ideas?" Meng Yun waved his hand absently, these are the basic common sense of the special forces' wilderness survival training, and there is nothing to show off at all.

"Let me think about it, going north will definitely not work, the barbarians are coming from that side, and going at this time is killing themselves," Speaking of the key question, the turtle master restrained his mind and lowered his head and touched his chin, "If you go five hundred miles to the east is the sea, there is no way to go when you go to the sea, and it will work to divert to the south, but this will deviate from the route to Blackwater City......"

"What's the situation in the west?" Meng Yun raised his hand to interrupt the strange turtle, the top priority was to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible, the specific situation can be explained in detail on the road.

"If you go a few hundred miles west from here, you will find Heishui County over the Heishui Mountain Range, but the Ice Palace wizard is from the west, and there was a wizard who cultivated as a witch half an hour ago, and he also appeared five miles away from the west," the Ice Palace wizard who kept appearing nearby made the turtle master a little worried when he spoke.

"Okay, as you said, let's go south......"

The mountains, dense jungles, and cold-tolerant trees such as pines and cypresses in the forests are similar to those of Northeast China, but unlike the latter, these pines and cypresses are unusually thick and tall, a bit like modern species of primitive size that crossed from the Jurassic, and are full of giant trees with waistlines of more than two hugs.

At noon, the two of them left the confines of the mountain and descended to the valley on the south side.

On the way, I picked a few wild fruits in the shape of peaches, the shape of the fruit is not as big as the egg, with fine hairs, and the taste is astringent.

When it comes to eating, Meng Yun found that Master Turtle has a strange habit of eating only fish at any time, and even if he doesn't eat when there is no fish, he never seems to feel hungry, which makes him feel very novel.

Along the way, most of the time is the strange turtle narrating, the topic of conversation is mainly about wizards, "wizards" sound really mysterious, but they are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, according to the cultivation can be divided into three orders and nine ranks, in order they are wizards, witches, and great witches.

"Fluttering—"

Just when he was listening to it with relish, the forest birds flew one after another, and the turtle master's voice also stopped abruptly, looking up at the front in a daze, Meng Yun looked up in doubt.

A dozen paces away, under the tree, a short and fat man with a pimple and pustule on his face, leaning on the tree a little lazily, looked at them with a strange smile on his face.

Meng Yun threw away the uneaten wild fruit, stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Who is this guy?"

At this moment, the turtle master swallowed his saliva with difficulty, "Who said he was human?"
